It has been mentioned on the news that the sentencing for Trump has been timed to occur a mere 3 days prior to the GOP convention. Furthermore, it is quite possible that Merchan could immediately handcuff DJT and sentence him to a lengthy incarceration with little that could be done to prevent this..
I welcome your views and insights on this ..
Well then don't do that. It's not complicated. What those "BCE" people choose to do is on them. Seems to me that their choice of abbreviations did, if fact, cause Christ to be talked about.
It was not their preferred outcome, that’s for sure.
BCE = DEI = substitution.
Cheers, ‘Pod.
“I fully expect him to incarcerate Trump and have him Epsteined.”
I fully expect the deep state to come under attack by a weapon that will fry their brains. Oh, wait. It’s already happening.
Possibly up to 1,500 American officials at home and abroad have suffered brain and other injuries in recent years from a mysterious malady that is reported to have begun in Havana in 2016 and has since been known as Havana Syndrome.

Sentencing is July 11, not June.
These links are about civil cases regarding federal issues, where any jurisdiction has standing to hear the cases. Of course, all the cases are appealable within the federal court system.
It seems to me that if Chuck Schumer et al recognize the importance of not cherry-picking judges for their political views in such a situation, they should ALL THE MORE recognize the importance of random assignment of cases in CRIMINAL cases, and especially in STATE criminal cases, where the appeals options are much more limited.
The 14th Amendment requires each state to provide due process and equal protection under the law. For criminal trials at least, that concept should include the right to not have your criminal case deliberately given to somebody who has publicly stated (through financial contributions to activist groups) their desire to eliminate all your supporters. In just the general sense this would be sort of like a Black person being assured that his rape trial would not be deliberately assigned to the head of the KKK.
But assigning Trump’s cases to Merchan was even more egregious than that, because it’s not just a general animosity toward a generic group such as Blacks but it is a very specific, targeted animosity towards the actual defendant in question. And it’s not just an issue with Trump. We see the same kind of crap with Chutkan being given most of the J6 cases.
Giving jurisdiction only to courts where the alleged crimes occurred guarantees that places like DC and NYC can continue their corruption because there are no judges who protect the interests and rights of people who are not from the same banana republic as the judges. Why couldn’t a defendant from Texas, for instance, be able to ask for a randomly-assigned court anywhere in the country to be given jurisdiction and be assigned the case for alleged crimes occuring in DC? That change of venue would prevent the judicial hellholes we’ve all been watching in horror - while also preventing judge shopping.
In addition to the attorneys who signed the NYC Bar document, we have Chuck Schumer and his allies claiming the importance of random selection of judges. These people should ALL be pressured to speak up on the very court cases that should NOT involve political leanings at all: criminal trials.
Does anybody know how to get ahold of Elise Stefanik? If her staffers could do some outreach to these specific people, perhaps at the very least we could work on building consensus regarding this country’s need to prevent kangaroo courts like Merchan’s. We all care about the Trump case because we support Trump so we see what is being done to him. But this has been done to the “little people” for a long, long time, and those who have had to live within a judicial system that is rigged against them will easily see how their fate is tied to Trump’s. If we use the blatant corruption against Trump to attack the kangaroo court systems, a lot of Blacks and others will reap the benefits as well - which is also a great reason for all of us, of all political persuasions, to unite to address the injustices.

I've been invited for a barbecue with some friends so no more posts from me for a while. (These time zones….)

Merchan’s political donations were on July 26, 2020.
July 10, 2020 was the day the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump did not have Presidential immunity from investigations and indictments by state prosecutors.
In 2023 34 judges received written warnings for forbidden political contributions. See https://cjc.ny.gov/Publications/AnnualReports/nyscjc.2024Annualreport.pdf . That included complaints from 2022-23. The report suggests that judges were confused about whether contributions to out-of-state candidates were forbidden and about the time window allowed for contributions by judges seeking election. In Merchan’s case, there is no allowance at all since he has never faced election.
Enjoy the barbecue.
I’ll see if the link allows me to contact her even though I’m in Nebraska.

Now that they have caught and tried him, what will they do with him is a fraught question.
Suppose they incarcerate him for even a few days -—and he gets killed by some nut thug in Riker’s Island??? What then?
The charges could have been brought three years ago. But that would not have interfered with Trump’s reelection campaign.
No they won’t. Biden will order them to stand down.
